Slipknot announces '(sic)est Stadium Tour' for summer 2027

Slipknot has announced a stadium tour for summer 2027, with dates in the United Kingdom, North America and South America. The run, called the "(sic)est Stadium Tour," was announced in late September 2026, according to Consequence and Blabbermouth.

Dates and venues

The tour opens with a single UK show at London's Wembley Stadium on July 3, 2027. Blabbermouth reports that the tour is produced by Live Nation.

The North American leg begins on July 16 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. According to Consequence, other stops include Citi Field in Queens, New York, on July 18; Fenway Park in Boston on July 31; SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on August 13; and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on August 15. The North American dates end on August 18 at Chase Field in Phoenix. Blabbermouth also lists Soldier Field in Chicago among the stops.

The band will then play five shows in South America in September, in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia, according to Blabbermouth. Consequence lists the South American dates as running from September 4 to 16.

Supporting acts

Bring Me the Horizon will be the direct support act on every North American date, both outlets report. Marilyn Manson will support the band in London and South America.

A rotating group of special guests will also appear on various dates. The outlets list Lamb of God, Acid Bath, Kublai Khan TX, Motionless in White, Lorna Shore, Loathe and Polyphia. Blabbermouth reports that Hatebreed and Lorna Shore will also play the London opener, with Hatebreed rejoining for the South American shows.

Tickets

An artist presale started on Tuesday, September 29, at 10 a.m. local time, and general ticket sales begin on Friday, October 2, at 10 a.m. local time, according to both outlets. Blabbermouth reports that a separate Knotfest presale began at noon on September 29, and that VIP packages include early entry and band-signed merchandise.

Blabbermouth also reports that Wembley Stadium and SoFi Stadium are hosting launch events with pop-up shops and exclusive merchandise.

New music

Consequence reports that the tour will feature new staging and a setlist covering the band's whole career. The announcement follows the release of a new Slipknot single, "Arsenal," earlier in September, which Consequence describes as the band's first new music in three years.

Why it matters

The announcement sets out Slipknot's main touring plans for 2027 across three continents, with stadium and ballpark venues rather than arenas. With a large rotating lineup of support acts, the tour also brings a wide group of heavy music bands onto the same bills. It comes as the band returns with new material, after the release of "Arsenal" earlier this month.
